This morning Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister, announced that they will begin with drawing British troops from the southern region of Iraq.
I continue to support the war in Iraq, however as more of our allies begin to pull their troops out, we are no longer fighting a global war on terror but an American war on terror which makes no sense. When we went into Vietnam, we went with a strong coalition which shared the economic costs, life costs, and military costs, in fact the United States made money. The fact of the matter is though that this is not a war that can be solved through a two state division of Iraq, it must end with a "peaceful" and "stable" Iraq. If we cannot help the Iraqi government to accomplish that then there is no hope for peace and stability in the Middle East.
